Specification of Letters Patent. Patented July 29, 1919.

Application filed October 26, 1917. Serial lfl'o. 198,629.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN J. OLSON, a citizen of the United States,residing at Belview, in the county of Redwood and State of Minnesota,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stove Attachments,of which the following is a specifica- Another and equally importantobject of the invention is to provide a device of the charactermentioned having means arranged therein whereby a direct or indirectheat may be applied to the matter placed in the same, in order that itmay be cooked in various ways, such as baked, roasted, fried, etc.

It is also an object of the invention to provide a stove attachmentwhich by slight adjustment, can be caused to serve as a highly eflicientheater.

The improvements in the details and arrangement of parts will beapparent from an inspection of the accompanying drawings in connectionwith the specific description hereinafter contained, and wherein thepreferred embodiment of the invention is disclosed for the purpose ofimparting a full understanding of the same.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a front elevation of the improved device,

Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section therethrough, and,

Fig. 3 1s a vertical transverse section through the same.

Having more particular reference to the drawings and in connection withwhich like reference characters will refer to corresponding partsthroughout the several views thereof, 1 represents the housing of thedevice in its entirety, the front portion thereof being open andprovided with vertically and horizontally movable doors 2 and 3, whichdoors as will be noted, are hinged thereto as at 4 and are provided withsuitable catches 5 whereby the same may be maintained in closedpositions, thus, serving to effectively close the open front portion ofsaid housing 1 The bottom of the housin is provided with sipaced seats 6in whic gaseous or liquid iel burners indicated by the numeral 7 may beplaced. Pivotally secured to the housing bottom at points in proximityto the several seats 6 are flame spreading devices 8, which as will benoted, have the central ortions thereof formed substantially cone i'kein order that the flames given off by the burners will be spread in amanner to cause an indirect application of the heat to various foodstuff or like material arranged in the housing. It will 'be noted inthis connection, that the devices 8 may be readily swung to upright orino erative positions, shown and when so positloned, will permit theheat given off by the burners 7 to be directly applied to the materialarranged in the housing.

Arranged over the intermediate portion of the housing 1 is a horizontalpartition 9 having an o ening formed therein, which opening is a aptedto be closed by a hingedly mounted cover 10 conforming thereto in shape.

Foraminated racks 11 are removably arranged upon brackets 12 secured tothe side walls of the housing 1 at points in proximity to the topthereof and serve as means for supporting various food stuff and likematerial in the same for cooking.

Arranged adjacent the rear wall of the housing 1 is a verticallydisposed flue or chimney 13 having branches 14 tapped thereintothroughout its length, which branches communicate with suitable openingsformed in the rear wall of the housing and have dampers 15 rotatablymounted therein. Obviously, by so engaging the flue 13 with the housingan exhaust for the combustible fumes given off by the burners and theobnoxious odors given off by foodstuffs arranged in the housing isprovided.

In using the improved device as a cooking stove, certain of the dampers15 are opened to permit the fumes to be exhausted from the housing.Should it be desired to fry the food stufl' or cook the same in a mannerrequiring the application of direct heat thereto, the flame spreadingdevice 8 is moved to its upright or inoperative osition and the hingedcover 10 swung rom over the opening formed in the partition 9.
